CITY HALL.
With the advent of the city government came the demand for additional accommodations, aldermanic chamber, offices, committee rooms, etc. It was finally decided by the alder- men that the room formerly occupied by the water com- missioners be repaired, refitted and furnished for an alder- manic chamber. This made it necessary to provide other quarters for carrying on the business of the water division , and also for the boards of health and overseers of the poor, who also occupied this room. Rooms were also required for the mayor, city treasurer and the sealer of weights and measures. A plan was devised cutting some of the rooms in two, which by a new assignment gave each office quarters in which to do business. Although the arrangement is not entirely satisfactory it is realized by all that under the cir-
260
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
cumstances it is the best that can be done. The officials were particularly considerate, entering pleasantly into any arrangement that was best for the whole without considering personal preference.
The room for the aldermanic chamber was renovated, walls repaired and painted, floor relaid, steel ceiling put up, and refurnished, the expense of which follows:

The room formerly occupied by the board of selectmen was divided into two rooms with a door between which gave accommodation to the board of assessors and to the col- lector. A part of the room formerly occupied by the police department was cut off, making a room for the mayor, and leaving a good sized closet as a coat room for the aldermen and which if desired can be readily changed to toilet rooms.
The counters in the city clerk's office were remodelled and set back, making more room for the officials, and the treas- urer and auditor are given accommodations here. A new
261
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT.
counter was built for the collector, one changed and rebuilt for the assessors, while a room for the sealer of weights and measures was built in the basement, a new sink and hopper was placed in the tramp room and a new extension stage built for the auditorium.
No specific additional appropriations were made ; the expense of the alterations was authorized and directed taken from the city hall appropriation, which was augmented by a transfer of $300.00 from the general contingent fund and later by an additional appropriation of $600.00.
The auditorium has been engaged ten afternoons and fifty-nine evenings, of which thirty-three have paid the regular price, eight the expenses only, and twenty-eight have had it` free of charge. The amount collected and paid the treasurer was $572.12, which was not credited to the appropriation.

NOTE : This appropriation was really exceeded by $104.87, but the auditor returned to me the bill of Wm. Morss amounting to $79.40, and bill of Malden and Melrose Gas Light Co. amounting to $76.44, say- ing they would have to come out of next year's appropriation ; no allowance was made in the appropriation for 1901 and it is therefore probable that it will be exceeded.
MISCELLANEOUS WORK.
In addition to the work for which specific appropriations were made, other minor matters were attended to and the expense charged to the general contingent fund, principal among these were the fitting up and care of the polling places for the city and state elections and caucuses.
